These are perfect lava rocks for betta tanks or fancy goldfish tanks or any other long finned fish. I have now bought them twice and will be back since I’m clearly suffering from MTS - multi tank syndrome. Fast shipping and beautiful in the tanks where I’ve placed them! I have a bunch of smaller tanks for bettas and have just branched into larger tanks.
IMPORTANT: Requests pertaining to size, dimension and shape are NOT guaranteed unless custom hardscape is purchased. For more information, please send our team an email. All stones and driftwood are natural items (unless otherwise noted) and variations in shape, size, color and natural markings and/or characteristics may or may not be present.
Due to the high volume of hardscape orders received, we cannot send photos of current inventory available or accommodate detailed customization. All hardscape sales are FINAL and are not eligible for return or exchange unless you have received the incorrect item(s).
Black Star Lava Rock is a unique variation of the classic aquascaping stone, Black Lava Rock. Black Star Lava Rock features a uniquely rounded shape that is much smoother than other Lava Rock varieties. This characteristic makes the round aquarium stones great for scaping in tanks that contain livestock with sensitive fins such as Fancy Goldfish, Betta Fish and more. Black Star Lava Rock still sports a porous texture that will support a variety of aquarium plants that are commonly grown on aquarium hardscape. Black Star Lava Rock works great as a base stone with driftwood or alone. We recommend wrapping them with aquatic mosses for additional greenery wherever desired!
Another benefit of having Black Star Lava Rock in a tank is its ideal habitat for the colonization of beneficial bacteria resulting in a healthier aquarium environment. The best thing about Black Star Lava Rock is that due to its relatively lightweight, you'll get more volume per pound.
How many pounds do I need? We advise 2 x Tank volume in gallons = Total amount of pounds required
TIP: Take advantage of Lava Stone's porous texture! It provides a perfect surface for delicate aquarium mosses to grow on. We like Mini Pellia and Fissidens Fontanus!
